Beach Boys Survivor #12 WINNER: HEROES AND VILLAINS

[shelter]

Fall Breaks.

[Disney Boy (1985)]

What happens if Good vibrations wins this round and the Smile round?

(Likewise, what if Surf's Up wins Smile and Surf's Up round?)

[Rotat]

Fall Breaks is great and She's Goin' Bald is just perfect. How can anyone not love those crazy lyrics and harmonies and the sped-up vocals???

My vote goes to Good Vibrations - because it doesn't belong on this album and spoils the spooky vibe...

I couldn't say "Shes Going Bald" because of the "too late mama" 3rd section alone. Really love that boogie woogie type stuff Brian does.

Fall Breaks I feel is one of the most brilliant compositions Brian has ever done. I am shocked so many people voted for it. It is essentially the same 20 seconds repeated, but that sound is so utterly bizarre I love it. Couldn't believe what I was hearing when I first heard it (same with "Wonderful" and "Wind Chimes" on the album).

Good Vibrations doesn't belong but I still love it, and over the years it does seem to fit somehow. It's strange. "Whistle In" is catchy but THAT one is one where the 10 second loop aspect of it does get repetitive. It's short though, but I still had to pick something I guess. Smiley is one of my favorite albums of all time.

I think those songs need to be limited to one album, Pixeltwin how are you handling this?

I'd say see how it plays out. I can see it not winning one of these rounds quiet easily.

She's Goin' Bald

She's Goin'...

I don't understand the problem if the same song wins two polls? The fact is some songs are duplicated on bb albums. I wouldn't want to vote in a survivor poll that had a song arbitrarily removed because it was duplicated on another album - kind of undermines the whole concept.

Pixeltwin removed songs when he did Little Deuce Coupe, and I agree with him on that. I think he should do the same with Good Vibrations on this album and Surf's Up on the Surf's Up album, as well as Cabinessence and Our Prayer on the 20/20 album and Cool, Cool Water on the Sunflower album!

"Cool, Cool Water" is practically an entirely different song.

Thanks, I didn't realise this happened with LDC. Still, I think you're better off leaving the chips to fall as they may. Cabin essence probably won't win the smile poll but may scoop up the 20/20 round. GV might go out early in smiley (h&v will win that) but may triumph in the smile rounds. That would be cool, right, but if you remove those songs there's less potential for interesting surprises.

[Les P]

Unlike some, I don't really care for the Smiley Wind Chimes, but it does have that beautiful tag.  So I'll vote for the repetitious Fall Breaks and Back to Winter.

I guess. As for 20/20, don't underestimate "Be With Me"

She's going bald

[ThyRavenAscend]

"I'm Gettin' Hungry"--boring, and the lyrics are a bit piggish.

[Wah Wah Wah Ooooo]

Fall Breaks

[punkinhead]

Gettin Hungry, too loud! Harshes my buzz/vibe.   

[pixletwin]

Good Vibrations and Surf's Up will not be removed. I feel their different enough and the context is contrasting enough that it is important to keep both of them in the voting roster.

[Phoenix]

Good Vibrations.

It doesn't belong on this album.

That doesn't matter.  This discussion is which track you like best (ie. FAVORITE) of the songs that are on the album.  It has nothing to do with the overall consistency of the full album. 

[John Manning]

Gettin' Hungry.  This track has always grated a little. But it's the only one-such on this album, so I'll be abstaining after this, unless it's not voted off this round.

Right on Pixeltwin!

For you maybe. For me and others the context of the album is important. I usually skip GV when listening to Smiley, therefore it's my least favourite on the album, despite its obvious greatness.

[feelsflow]

Good Vibrations        agree that it should not have been on this album.

s' Cool.  Now I can vote for GV on both albums. works fer me oh Grand Poobah of the Survivor Game.
